Rent & eviction protection

Is 2200 Leavenworth St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1928
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The 36-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 2200 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill, built in 1928, has undergone significant renovations and faced several major issues in recent years. Since 2021, the property has seen extensive unit rehabilitation work, with multiple apartments receiving kitchen and bathroom remodels, including washer and dryer installations. This work has encompassed Units 102, 205, 206, 305, 404, 501, 504, and 505, with associated permits totaling over $600,000 in improvements. In 2022, the building underwent important infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of three tankless Rinnai CU199IN water heaters with a 119-gallon storage tank. However, the building has also experienced multiple concerning events, particularly in 2020-2021, including complaints about unpermitted construction, potential hazardous material handling, water damage, and plumbing issues affecting multiple floors and the garage area. There were also violations in 2016 requiring repairs to walls, ceilings, windows, and insulation, though these were abated by June 2016.

More recently, there have been several building system concerns, including a sleeping area requirements violation issued in December 2023, which remains open as of October 2024. The fire safety record shows multiple false alarms and system malfunctions, with one confirmed building fire incident recorded, though no injuries were reported. The property management has maintained an active renovation schedule since 2021, completing substantial unit improvements, though this has occasionally led to tenant complaints about construction activities. Recent building permits demonstrate ongoing investment in the property, including a 2024 permit for updating fire safety systems. The building's history includes one tenant buyout of $50,000 involving two tenants in September 2022.

Risk rating

How 2200 Leavenworth St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 1122 are predicted to be safer.
